youre right the combo at the end was priy gud.

I think you're like me and you have some bad habits with the raptor boost (Not just off the edge which i do do as well)

Most of the problems i see in your game will only get hammered out with tourney experience.

Remember, uthrow is your most valuable throw in Falcon dittos because at low percents you can tech chase after it and at high percents it combos into a knee. You should get used to using it more often.

You're using raptor A LOT. It's a good move, but sometimes you would have a chance to get a grab off instead which is potentially better.

You seem to regrab from your tech chases a lot. That's a good thing, keep it up. A lot of Falcon players tend to just randomly guess where their opponent is going to tech. Regrabbing increases your chances of hitting moves because you are now making an educated guess based off their tech patterns. Keep it up. Use knees sometimes as well when you're tech chasing.

Knee isn't only meant to be a finisher. It's a great tech chase move and could lead into early deaths if they tech at the edge and you knee them in the face. Also, knee at early % leads into grabs as well.

You have to remember that nair ***** in this match up. Nair leads into a grab which could lead into a stock. Also, uair has an amazing hit box. You should try to incorporate it more into your game.

defiently, i think the knee is a better option than stomp when they tech in place. I probably should nair more, and uairs are **** and have a nasty hitbox as you can tell from my last combo haha. thanks for the advice

some good tech chase grabs.

try to use more uairs. They are amazzzinnnggg.

also, try to bait ur opponent more. as falcon, you need to be really good at that.

lol prog sucks at falcon dittos

nah jk

but when you get a grab, **** the tech in place/no tech option with a knee and if they end up tech rolling just keep the pressure on their shield, then theyre likely to roll or try to shield grab

shield pressure them with super late uair to gentleman, or nair to gentleman and the from gentleman, dash away and then back and wait for a roll, if they keep their shield up just nair and repeat

if they jump out try to follow them with uairs

idk mostly its about keeping the pressure on and keeping the momentum in your favor

needs more videoooos
i went through the archives, i found a match i never uploaded, i'll put it up.

correction, this was before the modern age of prog recording, the quality is horrible.

correction #2, its fine as the normal AVI, but when i try and split it up (there are two matches), the quality diminishes. the settings are at the highest, not changing file format. i might just upload them as is later.
